"Logos" LP
Over several Summer 2017 sessions at International Anthem's HQ Co-Prosperity Sphere, the Wayward Machine Co storefront & our drummer's home (all on the same 3200 block of Morgan Street in the Southside Chicago neighborhood of Bridgeport), we settled into comfortable confines with International Anthem, making space to improvise, incubate & innovate. What’s heard on the ultimate product of this homegrown process (Logos) is us laying our voices bare, at once aware of cultural context, informed by aesthetic precursors, and yet fully irreverent to expectations or how any of this might be “appropriately” employed. Each composition offers a bridge into a sonic landscape that speaks to histories of migration and arts of living that have been central to everything from house music to blues, Latinx punk to salsa in the City of Chicago. Logos presents an idealized new progressive American music, as rooted in Chicago as it is communicable with the world. We have been steadily tipping forward into something more future-minded & universal this whole time, something that transcends the nationalism many of us are desperately trying to depart from, but don’t have the vocabulary to fully escape. "Logos," our International Anthem debut, is a bold & vulnerable push into this transcendence, our effort to proactively poeticize the future in sound.
"A beautifully eclectic release ... Dos Santos may just be the missing link from Jimi Hendrix to Kamasi Washington."
– Will Schube, Bandcamp Daily
"If you dream of a better world, listen to Dos Santos' Boundless New Record ... Its genre-obliterating, question-inviting approach offers a way forward for the openminded"
– Colin Joyce, Noisey
"I've always been impressed with the members' dedication to exploring the sonic possibilities of the sounds they love. Logos is the band's finest work"
– Felix Contreras, NPR Music
"The most thrilling moments combine a full-pelt Cubano dazzlement with moments of avant-funk, moment where the guitar dubs out and fractures like prime Eddie Hazel or Big Chief, moments where you genuinely can't predict what's going to happen next, when you find youself hearing Pere Ubu and Chrone as much as Arthur Russell"
– Neil Kulkarni, The Wire Magazine
